What

Paginate the home screen activity feed so it fills the available screen height instead of leaving blank space.

Why

The feed only fetches the first page of results (~30 events). For users with active instances the visible list is short, leaving most of the screen empty.

Cache strategy

Condition	Behavior
Cold start (no cache)	Fetch all available pages up to a sane limit, cache the full result
Subsequent runs	Fetch only the first page, merge into cache, render from cache
Cache stale	Re-fetch first page, update cache, render

This keeps startup slow only once; subsequent loads are fast.

How

Use the existing pagination helpers (PageSize=50, max N pages)
Calculate pagesNeeded = ceil(screenHeight / pageSize) to determine how many pages to fetch
Cache per-page data keyed by page number
Merge new page-1 data into cache on refresh

States

Loading — spinner while fetching initial pages
Partial — some pages loaded, rendering what we have while rest arrives
Populated — full feed rendered
Cached (subsequent) — render from cache immediately, async page-1 refresh
Error — show error with retry, fall back to cached data if available
